I was thinking the exact same thing. Wasn’t aware that there was issues between Goodwin and himself? I though he wanted to go back to WA. If he’s out of contract, get him in - it’s an absolute no brainer. 

 

No way he's coming back here to be hassled by fans in the line at the deli when he can stay in Syndey and be anonymous.

Have a soft spot for Jesse. He has some unfinished business with us

but he's getting quite injury prone. worth a second rounder maybe. Could be a stop gap while JVR develops

can't see it happening mind

We'll pay for his Uber eats delivery.

I reckon HE would be keen to come back if we were interested, but the question would be if the club would have him. 

when he left it was as much about us wanting him to go as him wanting to leave

A lot of water has passed under that bridge from what one hears. Due diligence can confirm if correct

Or Jeremy Howe. I think his heart still beats true for the red and the blue. At the very least, part of him does… 
I know for a fact he was wearing red and blue jocks last night. 😁❤️💙

For someone whose heart supposedly beats true for the red and the blue, he sure does love to pot us when he gets the chance.

No, don't get Hogan back and please stop with these ridiculous knee jerk threads seriously enough is enough.

We are desperate for a KPF. I’d be prepared to give him another chance to prove himself. 

Without LJ, a forward line of BBB, hogan and TMac is very enticing. JVR will get his opp as we manage BBB through out the year. 
 

Three talls with proper leading patterns will suit our game style and give us high contested marks in the forward line.

The tigers had similar issues before they got Lynch.

I tend to agree with you but it won’t happen. He went to Freo was poor and they could not wait to off load him. Hasn’t exactly been a dynamo at GWS. Sadly I think his time has past.

CYB he gets on the park like 15 times a year at best. Back issues he'll be managing for the rest of his career and all sorts of other stuff. On top of all that he walked out on us, I do like your thinking but it's just such a reach back into the past for the answer we think we need.

Yep won’t happen. Blood JVR and try for another similar type at draft time. If the reward we get for Jackson is good enough we might be able to pry loose a decent forward from another club. 

Great to see Jesse is doing well

He gave us some great games and we’d all wish he was still in red and blue 

 

Jesse … WE LOVE YOU 

please come back - all is forgiven

seriously we all wish Jesse the very best

but he’s unlikely to come back 

 

Have a soft spot for Jesse..

But no.

Nup.

I fear for next year. 

Brown - knee is cooked

TMac -  will be 30

Weid - potentially had his last chance

JVR - will take a couple of years to develop

Jacko - Out the door

 

We are going to have to get creative and pluck a KF from somewhere

Naughto, come on down! (Cue eponymous music !)

Not ridiculous - we are one big bodied marking forward away from being a dominant contender, and from having only lost a match or two this season.

I know Lobb looked pretty soft /ordinary last week but is at least worth a bid, especially if Jackson heads

Leading patterns, simultaneously, good move.

We got BBB with arthritis in the knee and can manage him good enough. I don’t know all the circumstances behind him going to Freo, but it was a bad time for him and he probably didn’t have the right people around him that had his best interest at heart.
 

He has openly regretted it so maybe that’s enough to have a conversation. At worst it’s a massive upgrade on Weid. I couldn’t imagine him demanding more than 400K/yr so would be a bargain.  


On a serious note, Chris Aitken also worth another look at. Can take a contested mark and has excellent previous form with the Dees, kicking five in the last round of 1967.

Late second rounder and a highly conditional contract with KPI's

Bottom line is whether he will put the work in

Not as silly as it sounds

Took the words right outa my mouth. Not the worst idea at all!

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
